Some friends just sold their Chadds For house in four days, receiving multiple offers over the not-inconsiderable asking price. (Of course, now the family faces the challenge of finding a place to live in Connecticut, where the wife was transferred.) It seems that COVID has spawned a seller's market as people perceive that their houses are insufficient, in either size or amenities, for pandemic living.
As a freelance copy editor, spending hours at home is nothing new for me, but I have had to adjust my living space to accommodate my exercise regimen. For my Zoom yoga class, I push the coffee table out of the way. It's amazing how many cobwebs and dust bunnies you see when you are lying on the living-room floor; the telescoping Swiffer duster that I bought at Lowe's has been a COVID-era game-changer.
For my Zoom cardio class, which includes a fair amount of fast-paced jumping and shuffling, I use the back deck when the weather permits. Surprisingly, the wooden surface is nice and springy and easy on the knees. Otherwise, I've set up an older computer in the concrete-floored garage. Just one pine needle or sweet-gum leaf underfoot can be slippery, so the deck and garage floors have never been cleaner.
